Finally we get a break from winter weather. Last week it snowed three times and rained the other days. Snow in April? No, thank you.

But this week the sun came out at last (good thing, too. I was about two seconds away from checking out Outer Banks rentals just to get away from this weather!). Yesterday and today have been really nice. And I’m not the only one who appreciates it - our kitties have been rolling in the driveway all day. They come in to eat and drink and they’re right back outside to play. I think when Mariah gets home, I’ll ask my mom to watch Gabe so I can take her to the park. She loves the slides but hasn’t gotten to go down them yet this year.

Oh, and my candle arrived today! If you don’t remember, I won it in a contest a couple weeks ago. I got the Cucumber Melon scent and OH. MY. GOSH. It smells SO good that I want more of them.

One more thing.. Gabe is feeling a lot better today and actually slept nine (almost) straight hours last night. Poor little guy, this cold took a lot out of him!
